Gone are the days when employees exit a company with a banker’s box of personal items and security watching so they don’t raid the supply closet on the way out. Even though employees are entrusted with much more sensitive equipment than a stapler (not to mention far more expensive!), companies often have no real plan in place for the retrieval of their IT assets, especially from remote workers.
IT asset recovery is the process of returning company-owned technology devices and refers to the entire process of retrieving, managing, and potentially extracting value from IT assets that are no longer needed. Even though companies have the option to handle asset retrieval in-house, leveraging Managed Deployment Services for retrieval offers several advantages, including the following:
· Cost Savings: maximize cost savings by efficiently recovering and repurposing IT assets instead of purchasing new devices.
· Resource Optimization: free up company resources, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks.
· Data Security, Compliance & Risk Mitigation: ensure that sensitive information is securely handled, comply with regulatory requirements, mitigate risk of data breaches and ensure that devices are properly sanitized if needed.
· Environmental Responsibility: promote sustainability by facilitating proper recycling or refurbishment.
By utilizing a Managed Deployment Service, such as Alucid, you ensure that devices are not only returned, but will also accelerate warehousing and redeployment, recycling, or reselling.

Consider using MyITRetrieval.com, a service provided by Alucid Solutions for the sole purpose of streamlining the return of your devices from remote workers.
With My IT Retrieval you can select and send a retrieval “kit” to any employee or former employee. We will send one of our "easy pack" padded boxes to keep your items safe, a prepaid return label, pre-cut tape for resealing, packing instructions, and an employer letter to ensure great communication. Track everything through our self-service portal.
Should you choose, there is an option to add-on Recovery Services, where devices will instead be returned to the Alucid warehouse. You will get a complete view of assets that we have received and easily select which should be recycled and which can be wiped for resale.
